Hello Canberran Unreal Tournament Gamers!
Spirit Networks has for years provided local Gaming Servers in
Canberra and we've now deployed 2 (currently, soon to be 3) Unreal
Tournament Servers in Canberra.
For more information on what Unreal Tournament is, please see:
http://www.unrealtournament.net
Please feel free to pass this message on to other Gamers you may know!
For some background to the specifics of Spirit's UT Servers;
- As UT Gamers are aware, UT Servers run 'bots' ('robot' players) which are
run by the Server, yet can play on your team or on a single opposing team.
Spirit's UT Servers run anywhere from 8 to 10 Bots.
You can email the Server Admin: games@spirit.net.au
if you want to change the # of Bots at any time to suit your gaming..
- Spirit's UT Servers have been enhanced with a "Star Trek" Voice Package,
which the Bots speak in. This Sound Pkg is automatically downloaded to
your gaming PC from Spirit's UT Server when you first connect.
When you then connect to the Spirit UT Server, you'll hear this sound
package in the various taunts, gestures, expletives etc that fill a
UT Game..
You can then set your own UT character to use the Star Trek Sounds by
placing the line below into your UT User.ini file;
"Voice=StarTrekPackage.VoiceStarTrek"
or replacing the equivalent Voice line at the start of your User.ini file
in your UnrealTournament\System directory.
You'll then see all the StarTrek sounds available through your 'v' key menus..
- These Servers are physically in Canberra and are "closely connected" to
CANIX - the CANberra Internet eXchange. To which Spirit Networks, the PCUG,
Dynamite and InterAct connect to, allowing these Local IP Networks
to exchange data without the involvement of 3rd party/national IP networks..
ie: Hopefully, playing on this UT Server will be 'faster' for Canberrans.
That said, we regularly have a few Sydney-siders playing on these Servers,
as they are also "close" to Sydney City's Internet core networks.
- The Spirit UT Bots have been renamed and will soon be re-skinned to be
StarTrek "Borgs".
For those not "up" on StarTrek, the Borgs are a conglomeration
of the members from other species in the galaxy who have been
(un?)fortunate enough to have been "assimilated" by existing Borgs.
By being implanted with various cybernetic devices and have lost all
individual thought, "joining the hive mind" and they pretty well are
the #1 Baddies of the ST universe :-)
The first Spirit UT Server is a "Capture The Flag" (CTF) Server.
It only runs "good" CTF/'sniper spot' Maps. Currently cycling through
the Facing Worlds & Lavagiant Maps. Feel free to email games@spirit.net.au
with your desired CTF Maps if you'd like to change the Map at anytime..
The Favourites information needed for this UT Server is;
IP Address: 203.63.246.38
Port #: 7777 (the standard/default)
The second Spirit UT Server is a "Domination" (DOM) Server.
It's cycling through a number of the standard Maps, with the Borg Bots
and the ST Sounds.
The Favourites information needed for this UT Server is;
IP Address: 203.63.246.38
Port #: 8888
The third (running this week) Spirit UT Server is a
"Team Death Match" (TDM) Server.
It'll also cycle through a number of the standard Maps, with the Borg Bots
and the ST Sounds.
The Favourites information needed for this UT Server is;
IP Address: 203.63.246.38
Port #: 9990
